Relationships are the work —
in every room you enter.
Working with individuals, couples and business partners who are ready to understand themselves more deeply — the patterns they carry, the stories they've inherited, and the life they want to build.
Transactional Analysis — what it means in practice
Our early experiences shape internal patterns — ways of seeing ourselves, others, and the world — that continue to run silently beneath adult life. TA makes these visible and workable. My approach is relational, psychoanalytical: the therapeutic relationship itself is part of the work. I will be present, direct, and honest with you.
Ego States & Internal Patterns
The different parts of self — Parent, Adult, Child — that shape how we respond, often without realising.
Life Script & Decisions
The early narrative we built about who we are and what we deserve — and how to begin revising it.
Relational Patterns
How familiar dynamics play out in current relationships — and how to find new ways of being with others.
Autonomy & Change
The goal of TA: awareness, spontaneity, and intimacy. A life chosen, rather than inherited.
A wide range of personal and relational difficulties
If you don't see your concern listed, please do reach out.
The same patterns.
Different rooms.
Rossana sits at an intersection almost no one else occupies: two decades of senior HR leadership inside global organisations, global ICF Coaching accreditation and rigorous 5-year clinical training in Transactional Analysis psychotherapy.
Most therapists have never sat in a boardroom. Most HR leaders have never sat with someone in genuine psychological distress and known what to do with it. Rossana has done both — and that combination is not incidental.
It means she can read a boardroom and a therapy room with equal fluency — understanding not just what people say they want, but what the patterns underneath are actually asking for. Whether those patterns are playing out in a partnership, a leadership team, or a relationship with oneself — the work, at its roots, is inextricably linked.
Clinical Depth
MSc-level Relational Transactional Analysis training. A psychotherapeutic framework that illuminates how our earliest relational experiences shape every relationship for the rest of our lives.
Organisational Fluency
Nearly two decades at senior level inside global organisations — pharmaceutical, semiconductor, oil & gas, FMCG and consulting. She has led succession planning and sat at tables where the stakes were high and the psychology was rarely named.
The Rare Synthesis
The ability to hold both — to understand organisational dynamics through a clinical lens, and to bring intercultural and multidisciplinary expertise to the therapy room — is what makes Rossana's work genuinely distinctive.
The patterns we learn at the family kitchen table tend to resurface at the dating or conference table. The cast changes. The script rarely does.
— RossanaPsychology meets lived experience
My journey into psychotherapy was inspired by a deep interest in early relational dynamics. As a therapist sitting with a diverse range of clients and an HR leader sitting alongside executives at the most demanding junctures of their careers, I saw the same patterns play out. Those experiences inform my approach.
I work with couples, adults and business partners navigating identity, relationships, conflicts, transitions, anxiety — and the quieter, harder questions that don't always have an answer. Yet.

How I can support you
I offer a small number of individual and couples sessions, and ongoing therapeutic relationships. Sessions take place in person near St Andrews, in Edinburgh, and in London, or online via Zoom.
Individuals
For adults navigating identity, transitions, anxiety, and the quieter, harder questions that don't yet have a name. Depth-oriented, relational work, long or short-term based on your needs.
Enquire →Couples & Business Partners
Our closest relationships expose our oldest patterns most vividly. Whether you're navigating conflict, disconnection, or a transition neither of you expected — this is where the work often matters most.
Enquire →Leaders & High Performers
For seasoned leaders and high-performing individuals who want to understand the psychological dimension of how they lead, relate, and respond under pressure.
Enquire →The 100
100 Minutes. Undivided attention.
Sometimes you don't need to begin a long therapeutic journey. One conversation is enough to shift perspective.
This is a focused, one-off session for something you want to understand more deeply — a relationship, a decision, a transition, a professional challenge, or a pattern that keeps repeating.
In 100 uninterrupted minutes, we create the space to step outside the noise of everyday life and examine what is really happening beneath the surface.
No long-term commitment. Just one meaningful conversation.
Initial Consultation
A light introductory session to explore what you're carrying, what you'd like to work toward and whether we're a good fit to work together.
Where we meet
My consulting room and private office are set in a beautiful farmhouse near St Andrews, a peaceful, private rural location within easy reach of St Andrews, Cupar, Dundee, and the surrounding local areas. The venue is highly accessible with excellent connections by car and public transport, with Leuchars railway station and bus services within walking distance providing direct links from Edinburgh, Cupar, Dundee and beyond.
Alongside my Fife practice, I regularly visit clients in my established consulting rooms in Edinburgh and London, where I originally trained and founded my practice.
For added flexibility and to best support my clients' unique circumstances, I offer in-person and online therapy — a hybrid model particularly well-suited to my London-based clients.
